Slope is just rise over run.
If you draw a line from the front edge of one tread, to the front edge of

I installed a set on my front steps and they are every bit as sturdy as the

i have a precast concrete stair system which has had a wrought iron
railing system since 1985. since then where the wrought iron has rotted
